Jose Mourinho is aiming for ­another tasty season at Manchester United... thanks to Deliveroo.

United have confirmed the Old Trafford manager will make Manchester’s city centre five-star Lowry Hotel his home from home again next season after deciding against buying a property in the area.

And that means he will again be using online food service Deliveroo to provide him with culinary variety.

It has emerged the United boss often sent out for takeaways from Manchester eateries last season, rather than be at the mercy of the paparazzi every time he stepped out of his luxury suite at The Lowry.

Mourinho is said to have become fed up ­being followed and photographed whenever he left the hotel to have a meal in the city with his staff after a long day at the training ground. Sources confirmed Mourinho ­decided against being ‘papped’ when he left the hotel in the evening – and started using Deliveroo.

That solved his problem – and it worked so well it ­persuaded him to book in for ­another season at The Lowry.

A United insider told Sunday People Sport: “Jose likes living in the centre of Manchester and is happy at The Lowry now.

“Understandably, though, he doesn’t want to eat out every night.

“That’s why on occasions he will bring the restaurants to him with Deliveroo for a bit of variety. Having that option has made it more feasible to live in the city centre.”

No past manager has made a hotel their permanent base – but senior officials have no worries about his long-term commitment.
